Highlights
The 38-cabin Wilderness Discoverer was built in 1992 and renovated in 2011. The open-plan lounge and dining room have a relaxed atmosphere, with the beautiful cedar wood bar a great place to get a drink and socialize with other guests. There are three decks, including a sun deck, from which you can admire the stunning scenery. The small ship cruise vessel carries an impressive assortment of adventure gear, such as kayaks, skiffs, paddleboards, and hiking poles. Do you still have the energy to burn? You can make full use of the onboard fitness equipment. Alternatively, if a little R&R is more in line with your desires, there are two onboard hot tubs. You can choose between four classes of cabins, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a TV/DVD player. Each cabin also has a viewing window. See and hear more underwater action with the hydrophone and underwater camera.

Our cruise was a once in a lifetime experience.
This small ship cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship’s staff are so organized, but yet extremely flexible. Their good nature, kindness and professionalism made our trip a memory to last a lifetime.

Fantastic Retirement trip!!❤️
I am not a cruise person. However, I wanted to see Alaska, but not like everyone else. I am not a shopper, nor am I a gambler. I am a person who loves being outside and being with nature. Choosing Uncruise was the best decision I could have ever made for me. I kayaked, I went bush whacking, got up close to several glaciers, and saw an abundance of wildlife. The staff was very knowledgeable about the wilderness. I am SO glad I was on their boat. Such nice people! My husband and I will talk about this trip for a very long time. I highly recommend Uncruie to anyone who is just like me.

- The crew and staff, all of them, were amazing! They were very friendly and very attentive.. The experiences that we were offered to do every day where beyond my dreams!. I enjoyed how the crew kept us informed when there was something to see outside or the northern lights were shining..

One of the best trips I have ever taken!
I saw everything I wanted on this trip-bears, whales, sea lions & puffins. The guides were so informative & knowledgeable. We got up close (at a safe distance) with the animals. It was a fabulous trip!

My Alaskan trip was a perfect escape from reality!
I particularly loved hiking in the rain forest, and being surrounded by humpback whales.

An amazing experience in an area of great beauty
Would do unCruise again, and recommend it to friends. All covered in the question above.

- Small group size. 60ish is a great size or get to know people and not have to wait too long for activities, food etc. very intimate.. Activities. Was concerned there wouldn’t be enough as we don’t kayak, but there was. The shore excursions were each so different it didn’t matter we did 3. Bushwhacking is very different to walking well defined trails. Being personally challenged was rewarding: bushwhacking (the 7 level of difficulty) and conquering Moody Knob and the polar plunge were personal highlights as we were bout doing them.. The crew. Amazing! So talented. So energetic. So going the extras mile, and more. Really appreciated all their knowledge and the evening talks..

This cruise was everything we hoped for and more!
Our overall experience was excellent! Seeing glaciers up close was amazing! Choosing a small boat experience was absolutely the way to go. We actually had the opportunity to get to know the other passengers, and made some wonderful friends.
